Where are they if they're not in the arena? Finnick has no idea. It's harder to tell if the potential wheres are more dangerous than the potential whys.
He's not sure what he's going to say, but he doesn't get a chance before a familiar voice says Johanna's name. Finnick actually freezes for a moment, surprised as he is he to hear Katniss. She's alive, and that's something he figures. If the three of them are here, this probably is the Games, he thinks -- unless something has changed incredibly drastically. (Unless they got them out before the Games, but why bother sticking them in this weird hotel without explaining anything?) He likes to think it's a good sign that they're with Katniss.
But that doesn't mean that she isn't about to kill them. It was going to be hard enough to convince her to team up with one of them, and now it's the two of them, surely a noteworthy threat. (It is strange that she called Johanna's name so calmly, wasn't it? If he remembered correctly, Johanna and Katniss had gotten along even worse than Katnissn and him.) He hopes that they're not about to get arrows in the threat. He inches in front of Johanna, trying to cover as many open space as possible. He expects Johanna will throttle him for this later, but that's something he's willing to accept.
"Katniss," he answers, holds up the arm that has the golden bracelet on it toward the direction her voice was coming from. Their only choice. (He hates this slow stand-off. There's nothing he can actually say to make her trust them, and she's too suspicious anyway.) "It's Finnick."
